Russian star soprano Anna Netrebko will not be performing in Lucerne after all. The concert on June 1 at the KKL has also been canceled due to pressure from the Lucerne government.
"The KKL Lucerne is not available for Anna Netrebko's concert on June 1, 2024," wrote the "Luzerner Zeitung" on Wednesday. The public perception of the soloist remains controversial, the KKL continued. The written statement is available to the Keystone-SDA news agency.
The background to the cancellation is the timing and geographical location of the appearance at the Ukraine Peace Conference on the Bürgenstock. The KKL had been asked to cancel by the cantonal and municipal authorities because "a threat to public order" was expected.
Netrebko is said to be close to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin. This is why her performance, which should have taken place in 2022, was postponed to June 1, 2024.
